WARNING: Remove all packaging including
any soleplate protection before operating your
steam generator.
1. Wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth.
2. Position the iron handset
e
on the base
station
a
, on your ironing board (if it is
large enough) or on a heat resistant and
secure surface at the same height as your
ironing board.
3. Before connecting your steam generator
to the mains supply, make sure your
supply voltage is the same as the one
indicated on your steam generator.
4. When you first use your steam generator,
there may be a slight odour and it may
smoke slightly for the first few minutes of
operation. This is quite normal and will
disappear.
IMPORTANT: On first use the water system
will need priming before the handset will
create steam. It is necessary to operate the
steam boost function a few times before the
unit will be ready to create steam. To operate
the steam boost function, double-click the
steam trigger
r
quickly a number of times
untill steam is produced.
CLEANING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR BEFORE
USE
Follow these simple steps to remove any
impurities or residues inside your steam
generator that may be left over from the
manufacturing process.
1. Follow the instructions under filling your
steam generator and fill the water tank
i
as described.
2. Empty the water tank to rinse out any
foreign particles then refill it.
3. Follow the instructions under steam
ironing. Set the temperature to the MAX
setting
t
.
4. Iron an old piece of cloth (cotton or
towels is ideal) for a few minutes. While
ironing, press the steam trigger
r
4 or
5 times. Upon first usage the pump will
need priming and you may need to hold
the steam trigger to pull water through
the system and create steam.
5. Any impurities will be flushed from your
iron by the steam and absorbed by the
cloth. Your iron is now ready for use.
FILLING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Remove the water tank
i
by holding the
handle and pulling the tank forwards from
the base station
a
.
2. Slide the water tank out.
3. Fill the water tank with cold tap water to
the MAX mark.

FILLING DURING USE
You can fill your steam generator during
use. Simply remove the water tank
i
as
described above and add water as required.
Do not fill past the MAX indicator mark on
the tank.
Your steam generator will beep twice and the
power indicator light
o
will flash to let you
know that the water tank needs filling.
STEAM IRONING
The smart features of the iron prevent you
from creating steam in temperature settings
below
●● . This is to ensure that delicate
fabrics are protected from ironing with steam.
It is recommended that for harder to iron
fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam
should be used when ironing.
WARNING: When ironing delicate fabrics
like nylons, acrylics and synthetics, Steam
should never be used.
1. Fill the water tank
i
with water.
2. Plug your steam generator into the mains
supply and press the on (I) /off (O) button
o
to switch your steam generator on.
3. Rotate the temperature control dial
t
to
set the pointer to between the ●● setting
and the maximum heat (MAX) setting.
4. The temperature indicator light
w
will
pulse as your steam generator heats up.
When the temperature indicator light
turns solid your steam generator is ready
to use.
5. With the soleplate in contact with the
garment, press the steam trigger
r
for
a couple of seconds. It is not necessary
to hold the trigger down continuously
as steam will still be emitted from the
soleplate for a short time after the trigger
has been released. If more steam is
required, press the steam trigger again.
6. To operate the steam boost function,
double-click the steam trigger quickly.
The iron will generate a highly
concentrated steam boost for a short
period of time.
Always release the steam trigger and allow
any residual steam to be released before
replacing the iron on its stand.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics, there is no
need to fill the water tank. However, if water
is already in the water tank, you do not need
to empty it.
1. Rotate the temperature control dial
t
to set the pointer to the desired heat
setting.
2. When the temperature indicator light
w
turns solid your steam generator is ready
to use.
3. Iron your laundry without pressing the
steam trigger
r
.
VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
Vertical steam ironing is especially useful for
ironing items such as curtains while they are
hanging, or jackets, suits and coats.
Select a temperature setting higher than
●●
t
. Once the temperature indicator light
w
turns solid, your product is ready to use.
Hold the iron in a vertical position and press
the steam trigger
r
as required.
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the
soleplate. Do not iron/steam a garment whilst
wearing it. Do not operate steam in the direction
of yourself or anybody else.
AUTO-OFF FUNCTION
The iron has an auto-off safety function that
will operate when your appliance has not
been used for 5 mins. The unit will enter a
sleep mode and all the lights will turn off. To
restart simply pull the steam trigger
r
. The
unit will restart and may need a short time
to reheat to the desired temperature, which
will be indicated by the pulsing temperature
indicator light
w
.
IMPORTANT
Your steam generator takes time to heat
up and cool down. If you change the
temperature setting on your steam generator,
you must give it time to adjust to the new
setting.
This is especially important when you change
from a high setting to a lower one. It takes
your steam generator longer to cool down
than it does to heat up and this is the reason
we recommend that you begin ironing at
lower temperatures.
For example, you have been ironing using
the
●●● setting and wish to change to the ●●
setting:
1. Turn the temperature control dial
t
to
set the pointer to the ●● setting. Initially,
the temperature indicator light
w
may
pulse while the unit adjust to the new
temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator
light comes on solidly again. Your steam
generator has now cooled to the correct
temperature.

Warning: Do not use harsh abrasives,
chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the
exterior of your iron.
Allow your iron to completely cool down and
wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If
polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a
damp cotton cloth while your iron is still hot.
Wipe over the rest of your iron with a soft
damp cloth then wipe dry. Do not immerse
the appliance or power cord or plug in water
or any other liquid.
SELF-CLEANING
Only activate the self-clean when you want
to activate the self-cleaning system. Never
activate the self-clean function when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and
impurities. The steam generator has an
intelligent reminder cleaning mode which
activates after continuous steam ironing
over a total of 25 hours. If you are in a hard
water area you can perform the cleaning
cycle sooner than the allocated 25 hours by
following the steps below.
The cleaning indicator light
q
will illuminate
to remind users to clean the machine.
1. To activate the self-clean function,
adjust the temperature control knob
t
to the Max setting. Press and hold the
self-clean button
q
for 3 seconds. The
clean indicator light will flash. Place the
iron handset
e
on the cleaning tray
f
and pull the steam trigger
r
once then
remove hands from the handset, this will
initiate the cleaning function.
2. Hot water and steam will be ejected from
the holes in the soleplate along with any
impurities. During the cleaning process
there is no need to hold the product.
3. The cleaning cycle takes approximately
1 minute. When the clean indicator
light stops flashing, the cleaning cycle
is complete, and you can switch off your
unit and store when cooled.
4. To cancel the self-clean function, press
and hold the self-clean button for 3
seconds. The clean indicator light will
stop flashing.
WARNING: Do not attempt to pick up the
handset while the clean indicator light is
flashing as hot water and steam may be ejected.
Only remove from the cleaning tray once the
clean indicator light has stopped flashing and
you have switched off the power. Always use
the cleaning tray provided and do not leave
unattended during the clean cycle.

steam will only operate when the
temperature indicator light is solid.
Check if light is flashing.
Wait until the temperature indicator
light stops flashing and turns to solid.
Brown particles are
emitted from the
soleplate
The handset needs to be de-scaled. Operate the self-clean process. Follow
